tracking that for us, in some really heated testimony today, cnn's jim acosta. jim? lay out the information for us. what's being said? what is the controversy? >> reporter: well, chris, you're absolutely right, lawmakers on capitol hill are trying to get to the bottom of what was known about the older suspect who is now dead, tamerlan tsarnaev, and this trip ta hat he took to rusa last year. law makes want to know why is it that tamerlan tsarnaev was able to make this trip in the first place. should he have been stopped before he went overseas? when overseas what did he do? what was he up to when he was over there? some of this is stemming from some of the conflicting stories, quite frankly, chris, from federal officials over tamerlan tsarnaev's status. senator lindsey graham, republican from south carolina, told reporters yesterday that tamerlan was on a no-fly list, that he was on some sort of terror watch list a federal law enforcement official has told cnn that is not the case. and senator charles grassley, graham's republican colleague in the senate, asked secre

what do you think about what jim is saying? >> it's a big city and the president has a very, very competent secret service. to not have him come to the memorial service would have been, i think, premature. we had no idea where these people were. and, you know, he can be secure and still have two people on the loose. who knows what they knew at what stage. but if there was any risk, you'd just have to assume that no one is going to put the president at risk. i think want's really interesting about what's come out so far, from what i can tell, they've spent most of their time here. they spent most of their time in cambridge. so this idea of radicalization occurring occurred, if it did, occurred here. or it didn't occur. in other words, this was something else. it was madmen, it was all sorts of things. and so we had this debate of whether terrorism or not, and i think we're seeing the consequences of being able to wait and see what, in fact, these -- what was animating these two that they're chechn n chechnyan, yes, we know that.

cnn international security analyst jim walsh is joining us with more on what's going on. one of the key questions, the weapons that they have, the weapons that eventually killed an m.i.t. police officer, seriously injured another local law enforcement officer. do we have any idea where they got those weapons? >> not yet. and i think that question also extends to the explosives, as well. but this is an investigation pursuing lots of lines of inquiry both foreign and domestic. i would have to guess, though, that rather than risk acquiring weapons and explosives from abroad, it's much more likely they were acquired domestically. >> these two guys apparently didn't have much money, but enough to buy explosives, pressure cookers, a rifle, long rifle according to the watertown police chief i spoke with. other weapons, as well. >> i'm sure they're already well into the suspect's computer files and financial records. we're getting a mixed picture because on the one hand, they seem to have had a modest style of living. on the other hand, there is that picture that's been widely ci
